Concrete Cats Back On Perch

Fraternity Prank Goes Sour

Four Charged With Fourth-degree Larceny

WEST HARTFORD — Searching for something to decorate the entrance to his men's clothing shop, Oscar Sosa settled on a pair of imposing concrete lions.

They were powerful and masculine, just the image he wanted to convey to his customers.

But when Sosa arrived to open his New Park Avenue shop on Wednesday morning, the lions were gone. In their place stood a pair of University of Hartford students, wearing sheepish grins and spouting apologies on behalf of their fraternity.
